i managed to netboot... now what do i do ?

[darkarchon]

hello,

i managed to netboot my sparc5 (axil 245) from a tftp image on my p2 machine. the sparc5 is now sitting at the prompt.

but what do i do now ?

can i simply take the installation handbook stuff and start installing? i.e. configuring the hard drive, fstab, downloading stuff, etc... ?

thanks in advance.

ok i am trying to install stuff by following the handbook. i managed to use fdisk to configure the disks and my eth0 works fine.

but this tftp image does not have ftp, ssh, links2, lynx, etc. how the heck do i go "out" and get "stuff" ?

or does someone have a more "juiced" tftp boot image ?

help please!
